5th GRADE OVERVIEW

   

    In grade five, students will build their understanding of the place value system by working with decimals up to the hundredths place. Students will also add, subtract, and multiply fractions, including fractions with unlike denominators. They will continue to expand their geometry and measurement skills, learning the concept of volume and measuring the volume of a solid figure.

  The math curriculum is divided into skill areas called modules.  Modules contain anywhere between 8 and 40 lessons split into groups of related lessons called topics.
